#3. Medieval Madness – Paniq Escape Room
You’re being tortured, and you enjoy it. That’s what was on my mind when I was in this room.

And this was just the beginning, the place you get to next is even more spine-chilling.

#9. Military Bunker
A tall, handsome man in a suit walks along the quay. Who might that be? A scientist, criminal, or maybe a secret agent? I’ll follow him. He stops in front of an interesting door. He knocks on the door with a curious rhythm. The door opens, he walks in, I stay out. I can’t give up; I have to find out who he is. I’m calling in a team to help me, to make the task easier. Everybody comes up with ideas and tries to solve the problem in their own unique way. What we’ve planned is very exciting, but also extremely dangerous. We have to get into the bunker at all costs!

#10. Chainsaw massacre
While walking in the park one late summer night, I heard a rumbling sound. I got scared. Who’s this, and what do they want from me? The streetlights suddenly went out and I started running. The sound was getting louder; it was very much like the sound of a chainsaw. I spotted a shed in the distance and ran to it. I could already feel something was seriously wrong, my attackers were following me. In the shed, I found a motorbike that could have helped me escape, but it wouldn’t start. What’s going to happen to me? Who are these people and what do they want from me? Can I start the motorbike, can I escape?
